Throughout history daring women and men have slashed, embellished and bifurcated their way to resistance through politicised fashion. From Amelia Bloomer’s pants of freedom to Rudy Geinrich’s topless monokini, fashion has been used as a tool of rebellion.

Join The Stitchery Collective as they explore the history of counter fashion and examine how some local Brisbane creatives are challenging the fashion status quo. On the atmospheric Turbine Platform this relaxed and entertaining free event invites all those interested in fashion to join in the conversation about the power of getting dressed.
